With over 300 featured authors, panelists and other participants, there's sure to be something for the entire family to enjoy! The book festival even offers the chance to attend "wordshop" classes for adults, teenagers and young children. Here, aspiring authors can practice their writings skills and get in touch with their creative side.

Additionally, food and live entertainment comprise a vital role in Louisiana's culture, and the Book Festival is no exception! Live music will be set up on the festival grounds, and there will be concession locations and vendors in the surrounding areas. If the idea of books don't tempt you, we're positive all the local cuisine and entertainment will!
